AN ACCOUNT OF THE Whole Produce of the DUTIES arising by GLASS-WARES, Tobacco-Pipes, and ston and Farthen-Wares.  
        l. s. d. BY the Commissioners Account for Receiving the said Duties, the Gross Duty appears, from Michaelmas, 1695. to the Seventeenth of November, 1696. to be       17642 1 5 Out of which must be Deducted, l. s. d.       For Charges of Collecting the Duty as by their own Account, 2766 3 4       For Debentures at London, according to the Commissioners of the Customhouse's Account, 840 5 8       For Debentures at Bristol, according to the said Commissioners Account, 2976 0 0       For Debentures at New-Castle and S●eels 1020 0 0       For prompt Payment, allowed by the Commissioners of Glass-Duties Account. 167 4 1         7769 13 1               9872 8 4  
And out of the above-said Sum will be drawn back for Glass that will be Exported out of the Stock now on the Makers Hands, which hath paid the Duty, and is included in the above-said Sum at least 700 l. and with an Addition of 10000 Dozen of Bottles more to be made, which will pay but 500 l. to the Crown, will answer all demands for Glass until Lady-day next; so that adding the 500 l. to the above 9872 l. 8 s. 4 d. and then Deducting 700 l. for the Glass that will be shipped off; and also 1000 l. for the Charge of Collecting from the 17 of November last, to Lady-day next, there will remain but 8672 l. 8 s. 4 d. for a Year and a half.  
  l. s. d. Which for One Year is but 5781 12 3 The Neat Duty of Tobacco-pipes for one Year, as per Printed Paper is 6958 11 4 The Neat Duty of ston and Earthen wears for One Year, 1500 00 0 The Total of all Three 14240 3 7 per An.  
Which said Sum of 14240 l. 3 s. 7 d. is more then any ensuing Year can produce, for several Reasons, shown in several Printed Cases; from whence it may plainly appear, what truth there is in the Commissioners Pretences, of Farming the several Duties, on the Three Manufactures, at 50000 l. per An. being only a Contrivance to continue their Places, without respect to the Crown, or the Perishing of at least 10000 poor Souls, depending on the said Three Manufactures: For 'tis very sure, no well affencted Persons to the Government, for their own private Interest, will falsely insinuate, a great advantage thereto, by a considerable Income of 50000 l. per An. by a Duty, when at the same time they know, and 'tis Demonstrable, the said Duty cannot bring in one third part of the Money. Besides the Continuance thereof will make the said 10000 Persons incapable of paying towards the Subsidy Act, &c. for want of employment; as also occasion their being burdensome to the several Parishes where they dwell, and consequently make others less capable to pay the said Act and other Taxes.
